Microchipping Your Pet

We can microchip your pet during any wellness exam.

The actual microchip is about the size of a grain of rice and is simply inserted in between the shoulder blades of your pet. It is a quick and relatively painless procedure that can make the difference between finding your lost pet or not. Each tiny microchip is encoded with unique information for that chip and is entered into a database, where your contact information is kept associated with the microchip.

Veterinary hospitals, animal shelters and animal care and control centers across the country are equipped with special scanners capable of detecting and reading microchips. They can then use the Pet Microchip Lookup web site to find a pet's owners based on the microchip number, regardless of the microchip’s manufacturer. If your pet is ever lost, microchipping is the best way to reunite you with your beloved family pet.

The AVMA's website is also a reliable source of additional information about pet microchipping.

What a thorough, caring, and knowledgeable staff! I felt like Scarlett (my cat) got compassionate and focused care. My neighbor raved about Dr. Wyler and now I know why...but the entire staff displayed over the top attentiveness! Go there, everyone!

I have been going to Animal Medical Hospital for many, many years, and have had several pets treated by Dr. Douglas Wyler. He has always given them the best of care, and keeps me informed about what is going on with them. He and all the staff are just wonderful - Lisa, especially, has been so helpful! I would heartily recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and knowledgeable veterinarian!

We have been going to Whitestone Vet Care for over 10 years now. Our dog Twister is now 11 years old and due to the wonderful care she has received from Dr.Wyler and his staff over the years, she is as healthy and happy as a spring chicken.

This is my 1st dog and I just love this place. They are willing to answer all my questions and concerns. I never have to wait long and everyone is so loving and caring. I feel confident my Dog Max is being care for well.

Very satisfied with the care my cat, Sunkiss received. The technicians, veterinarian, and staff, were very professional, friendly, and concerned about her problem. Used them for my other tabby, Tiger; who had a grocery list of problems; but lived a comfortable life to the age of 16.5 years.
